Homes are taking longer to sell month over month, with median days on market rising to 46, more than doubling recently, yet still a bit lower than a year ago. About 42.86% of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is near 0.98, indicating sellers are still achieving prices close to their asking point.
Activity levels are lean, with only 1 new listing and 5 pending sales, and new listings down 75% from last year. Inventory has dropped 41.67% month over month, while remaining slightly higher than a year ago, and projections show inventory could tighten further to 4 homes and the typical home value ease to $308,500 next month.
